Keine Wartezeit Autoverlad Furka Realp

Furka car train

The Furka vehicle transportation trains run all year round. In summer they save a drive over the Furka Pass and in winter the 15.4km tunnel between Oberwald and Realp avoids a long detour between the cantons of Uri and Wallis when the Furka Pass is closed.

The trip takes barely 20 minutes and saves a great deal of time compared to crossing the pass as well as a welcome break during a long journey. Tickets for loading your vehicle can be purchased directly online or at the on-site counter .

Especially in summer, when there are long traffic jams across the north-south axis over the Gotthard, the Furka tunnel becomes a great time-saver. If you encounter heavy traffic on the A2 motorway take the traffic lane marked ‘Andermatt’ for the rail transport service. On leaving the train drive south over the Nufenen Pass or simply follow the directions for ‘Simplon/Italy’.

During the winter holiday period – especially the ‘sports weeks’ in February and March - you can expect quite long queues after 9:00 am. We recommend that you aim to board a vehicle transporter before this time in the morning.
